Bollywood has, over the years, witnessed some memorable roles played out by child artistes. While many of the li'l actors fade away from public memory after a point of time or decide to pursue a non-glamorous career, some return to the screen as they grow up. However, they don't always enjoy the same amount of fame or adulation that they once did as kids when they begin their second innings in tinseltown. There are exceptions though, like Urmila Matondkar, who was seen in the 1983 film 'Masoom' as a nine-year-old and went on to be one of B'wood's leading ladies in the '90s.
